"I've lost something. Someone actually. He isn't very big; kind of easy to lose, really. It's a problem."
Her leading statements and careful questions brought those gathered around her to a simple conclusion. The released hostage confirmed it: she was after the imp. Crude jokes were briefly made at her expense. One burly man even dared to ask if she was a whore come to collect on a Lannister's debts. Buffy sought out every last piece of patience she had, answering, "something like that."
"Let her stand judgement, as well. For lying with lions."
Roughly handled, she was delivered into Lady Stoneheart's clearing just as the sword was introduced upon the scene. Buffy said nothing -- she was too transfixed by the sight of the undead woman. Her face was lined and haggard, like that of a Vengeance Demon. Her throat was a trough of unhealed skin. Buffy knew death when she saw it, and part of her wanted to great it like an old friend.

The rest had to resist the urge to run.
